• Abstract: The divide-and-conquer method has been widely used for estimating large-scale kernel ridge regression estimates. Unfortunately, when the response variable is highly skewed, the divide-and-conquer kernel ridge regression (dacKRR) may overlook the underrepresented region and result in unacceptable results. We develop a novel response-adaptive partition strategy to overcome the limitation. In particular, we propose to allocate the replicates of some carefully identified informative observations to multiple nodes (local processors). The idea is analogous to the popular oversampling technique. Although such a technique has been widely used for addressing discrete label skewness, extending it to the dacKRR setting is nontrivial. We provide both theoretical and practical guidance on how to effectively over-sample the observations under the dacKRR setting. Furthermore, we show the proposed estimate has a smaller asymptotic mean squared error (AMSE) than that of the classical dacKRR estimate under mild conditions. Our theoretical findings are supported by both simulated and real-data analyses.

  Quantile regression is a leading approach for obtaining such intervals via the empirical estimation of quantiles in the distribution of outputs. We propose Relaxed Quantile Regression (RQR), a direct alternative to quantile regression based interval construction that removes this arbitrary constraint. We demonstrate that this added flexibility results in intervals with an improvement in desirable qualities.

  Gauss theorem states that the weighted least squares estimator is a linear minimum variance unbiased estimation (MVUE) in linear models. In this paper, we take a first step towards extending this result to non linear settings via deep learning with bias constraints. A second motivation to BCE is in applications where multiple estimates of the same unknown are averaged for improved performance.

  We propose a fully data-driven approach to quantify uncertainty of the averaged estimator. Namely, we construct simultaneous element-wise confidence bands for the predictions yielded by the averaged estimator on a given deterministic prediction set. As a by-product of our analysis we also obtain a sup-norm consistency result for the divide-and-conquer Kernel Ridge Regression.
